How to book holiday packages - A dummy’s guide
“Oii Neeraj, will you book a holiday package for me?”
“No mum, I am very busy right now.”
“You are just looking at useless things on the internet.”
“I am looking at Sunny Leone, your future daughter-in-law”
“Wait, let me get my belan”
“Heh peace, you violent woman, I’ll teach you how to book a package. Where do you want to go?”
“Goody. I want to go to Thailand.”
“Right, let me search for Amarnath packages.”
“If I go to Bangkok, I could actually learn Thai cuisine and make Thai food for you.”
“On second thoughts, Thailand it is. So you see this bright yellow search box on your left? Yes, enter the destination there.”
“It says ‘where do you want to go?’ Should I type ‘I want to go to Thailand’?”
“Mum, WeAreHolidays, not WeAreKindergarten. Just put the destination name. See, if you just press T, it shows all the destinations beginning with the letter.”
“Done. Alright, now that its opened up so many packages, how do I choose?”
“Well, it depends on where you want to go in Thailand, what category hotels you want and how many days.”
“The first package says Bangkok and Pattaya. I should take that?”
“You aren’t going to Pattaya.”
“You did!”
“Errr that was an important college project. We were doing research on human behavior. Anway, Phuket has better beaches. But oooooh mum, go to Krabi. It’s beautiful. Remember watching ‘The Beach’? Yeah, they shot that movie in Krabi.”
“It says idyllic beaches in the description. Funny, I thought I saw that word just five minutes back to describe Matheran also.”
“Yes, our writers are quite… hmm, idyllic. In consistency, they thrive.”
“How’s the nightlife in Krabi?”
“Mum, you’ll go to sleep at 8 pm sharp.”
“Don’t sass me boy. And you better find me some good places to eat and shop.”
“Our home page’s footer is dedicated to destination guides. Click on any destination and you’ll get all the information you need.”
“Let me book the package first. So, now I go to the hotels tab and it says Amari Krabi. Amari?”
“They really should have named it Hamari Krabi” {chuckles}
“Dear Lord, you didn’t give him good height, neither a sense of humour.”
“Both your fault, woman! I have your genes.”
“The pricing tab now. Dude, its priced at 41,000!”
“Sasta and tikau. Best price in the market. Le lo.”
“How much is the Bangkok package for?”
“Ooof, chindi mummy .. Krabi’s much better ”
“How come you never send me and dad a money order at the end of the month, just like all those boys do in the movies!!”
“Cos you never say ‘Beta tu aa gaya? Mooh haath dho le, khana laga deti hu,’ when I come home after months.”
At the end of it all, we ended up buying the Amarnath package. The movie dialogue exchange refused to abate, though.
